About this desk

A desk built to your size, by hand. Not pulled off a shelf.

Every Grove desk is made to order from solid European redwood: 30mm thick, machined perfectly flat and finished by hand. Choose your width to the centimetre, pick your depth, choose a finish, and we build it for you. No chipboard, no veneer, no compromise. See what goes into every desk.

Properly finished, not just sealed. We finish every top in hardwax oil, which is durable, water-resistant and repairable, not the soft wax polish you'll find on cheaper desks. It's rustic in character but precise in the surface: the warmth and grain of real timber, with a top that's flat, smooth and built to be worked on every day. Real wood is easier to look after than you'd think: here's how to care for it.

Need a long desk? That's most of what we build. Every desk is made to your exact width, anywhere from a compact 100cm to a full 300cm, with 160cm, 180cm, 200cm, 240cm and 250cm among our most popular. From 200cm wide there's comfortable room for two, making it a genuine two person desk for a shared home office: one solid top, no join down the middle, no wobble where two cheap desks meet. Not sure what size? Read our desk size guide.

Built for how you work. Three depths, including a generous 80cm most makers don't offer: proper room for a computer desk setup with two monitors, a writing surface that doesn't feel cramped, or a gaming setup with depth to spare. Steel legs in A-frame, square or trapezium, in black or raw steel, give it a clean, industrial edge that suits modern and rustic rooms alike. It fits your room, your alcove, your setup. Not the other way round.

Delivered and built in minutes. A two-person crew brings it to your room of choice in two boxes. The legs bolt on with the Allen key we supply. Secure, re-tightenable, and no pre-drilled screws to work loose. Most desks are on and in use in around five minutes.

Backed for 25 years, returnable for 30 days. We give every desk a 25-year structural guarantee, and if it's not right when it arrives, you can return it within 30 days for any reason. Spread the cost with Klarna at checkout.

Handmade in Britain. Built to your size. Made to last.

Lead time & delivery

Every Grove desk is made to order in our Margate workshop, so it's built fresh for you rather than pulled off a shelf.

Your desk is typically ready within one week, and we'll keep you posted at every stage.

Delivery is free across mainland UK: a two-person crew brings it in and carries it to the room of your choice.

Materials

Solid European redwood with a 30mm top, finished by hand in hardwax oil. No MDF, no veneer, no chipboard core.

Because it's real timber, the grain, knots and tone vary from piece to piece, and it only looks better with age.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does my desk take to make?

Every desk is made to order in our Margate workshop, so we don't build until it's yours. Most desks are ready within around one week, and we keep you updated at every stage.

Is it really solid wood?

Yes. Solid European redwood with a 30mm top, finished by hand in hardwax oil. No MDF, no veneer, no chipboard core, just real timber that ages well.

Can I get an exact size?

Your width is yours to choose: 100cm to 300cm in 10cm steps, or an exact width to the centimetre on request, with three depths (60cm, 72.5cm and 80cm). Need something outside that range? Email us before you order.

What does the 25-Year Guarantee cover?

It covers the desk's frame and joinery against structural failure under normal home or office use, for 25 years. Natural timber movement, surface marks and the way solid wood ages are part of the material, not faults. If something structural ever goes wrong, we'll repair or replace it.

How is it delivered?

Delivery is free across mainland UK. A two-person crew brings your desk in and carries it to the room of your choice, and the legs bolt on with the Allen key we supply, so most desks are set up within about ten minutes. You then have 30 days to return it if you change your mind, for any reason.

Nice solid desk and good service

I bought the Rustic Solid Wood Home Office Desk in Rustic Oak from Grove and I’m really happy with it! The quality is great and it looks fantastic in my home office. I love that you can choose the exact size you need - it made it easy to get the perfect fit.

They also sent out colour samples before I ordered, which was super helpful. The support team were quick to reply to my emails, and although delivery took a bit longer than expected, they did let me know what was going on once I asked for an update.

The two delivery guys were great and even carried the desk upstairs for me. It was easy to assemble and feels really solid. Overall, I’m very pleased with the whole experience and would definitely recommend Grove if you’re after a quality, custom-made desk.

I just need to finish getting my office built now :)

Fantastic Desk!

The desk that I received from Grove is brilliant for my needs.
It looks great and is made from solid wood.
The grey metal legs complement my other furniture and the whole thing looks stylish and solidly made.
I found dealing with RG very straightforward and they answered all of my questions quickly, via email chat.

I can definitely recommend using RG who provide a quality product at a competitive price point!

Great customer service and the desk I've always wanted!

Stunning desk! The build quality and finish is excellent.

I live in a remote part of Scotland which is outside of the delivery terms but I thought I'd ask the question, and within an hour (on a Sunday) I got a reply from Cam.

The following day it had all been arranged and the desk ordered.

I'd like to thank Cam and all those at Grove for going out of their way to make this happen.

Great customer service. Would highly recommend!
